Friedrichshain the traditional working-class area is a district of exact opposites. Whoever is searching for a furnished apartment in Berlin Friedrichshain will find offers in almost every price range: starting from non-renovated apartments in older buildings up to posh lofts. Friedrichshain is full of contrasts and very colourful. If you choose to live here you should have a good portion of curiosity and tolerance. Along side the impressive boulevard Karl-Marx-Strasse you can see the famous grey “Plattenbauten”, which are buildings made from prefabricated slabs, but also the interesting Soviet “wedding-cake-style” architecture with moderate rents. In particular around Boxhagener Platz a dynamic area loaded with bars which have sprung up practically overnight. Especially young people and the former Eastern inhabitants live here. The chances in finding a fairly reasonable furnished accommodation in Friedrichshain are pretty good.
